The Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research compiles a lot of the studies that come out in the preceding month, and a lot of them will give you access to the abstract, as well as 1+ complete studies being available with each issue.
This month has a lot of sport-specific studies, so if you're interested in one of the sports, give it a read, it might help you with strength training guidance. Studies published in August are as follows:
Baseball (Free Article)
Basketball
Plyometrics
Strength
Soccer
Vibration Training - Whole-body vibration combined with extra-load training for enhancing the strength and speed of track and field athletes - Neuromuscular electrical stimulation during recovery from exercise: a systematic review
Cardio
Rugby
NFL
Hockey
Misc
